It’s referring to a bank/paypal claim. If an order never arrives and the seller
dosnt refund the buyer then the buyer can file a claim with their bank or with
PayPal who will then refund the payment.

Ah ok, I understand. Has this ever happened to one of you guys? If one is unlucky
and a package gets lost in transit, is it right to just take the loss as a seller
if this situation occurs, or should one try to get PayPal to refund the payment?

The odd package will sometimes go missing or buyer falsely claims to go missing
but its very rare on Bricklink compared to other platforms.
Whilst it may be wise to insure high value orders I wouldn't be overly concerned
with regular orders because even if you are so unlucky to find 1 in every 10
orders goes missing (it will actually be far, far less than this)
If you do the maths and lets say each order averages $10 in value. 10 orders
= $100 in total sales revenue. One missing order drops that total sales revenue
down to $90 split across 10 orders = receiving around $9 per order instead of
$10 per order so in reality its not going to hurt you as much as you think.
Obviously I've not taken into consideration any actual profits/cost of stock
and any added costs to ship out replacements etc, etc... but the fact that we're
actually probably talking about less than 1 in 100 orders going missing more
than covers any losses you may incur

Alright, thank you very much for a really good explanation! Good to know that
it's such a rare occurrence.
Mind if I ask you how long it took before you got your first sale on Bricklink?
|
12 days and 5 hours and about 33 minutes since you open your store. Any other
question?!
More seriously, i would recommend to:
- start selling only within your country mean lwhile learn about paypal seller
protection, brickink (nbs, nas,…),
- study the terms of established seller in your country, their shipping method
and policy,…
- find rare parts or sets from your local marketplace or huge lots on auction
sites. Make sure you can sell them and have a good profit. If something is rare
and wanted and peice is ok, people buy it from you.
- keep listing. More items you bave, more you sell.
- make. Sure you know everything very well. It personally took me over one year
to learn things, the prices of market, what is rare, how bricklink qnd paypal
works, good packing, how to help buyers,.. (reading in my spare time) and after
i opened a store.
- once you gain confidence, you can sell to europe and then the whole world (
except one country 😕)
|
Those are some good tips, thank you!  I think I might keep the store domestic
to begin with, and slowly expand to the countries closest to me such as Denmark,
Sweden and Finland, and then move on from there as I learn more.
